"During the second quarter, the Company began its 2014 drilling program
in the U.S. with the Wiggins 11-2H well. The drilling was completed in
July with a 5,050 foot treatable lateral section and the Company has
just begun fracture stimulating the well with results expected in early
September. The lateral section of the Wiggins 11-2H well was placed in
what we believe is the most productive stratigraphic portion of the
Caney, based on the analysis of previous well results and the pilot
hole. The second well in the 2014 drilling program is the Hartgraves
1-5H well which was spud on August 6th, and is currently drilling the lateral portion of the wellbore with
fracture stimulation expected to begin in early September.

"The Wiggins 12-8H and the Barnes 7-2H wells both continue to perform
above our expectations with combined average production of over 550
boepd for the six months of 2014. These wells have been on production
for 6 and 8 months respectively. The Company's first three wells in
the 2014 US drilling program are being drilled in sections directly
adjacent to the Wiggins 12-8H and Barnes 7-2H wells.

"With the recently announced $100 million reserve-based credit facility
and the equity financing in the first quarter, we intend to continue
our 2014 US Caney formation drilling program beyond the three
previously announced wells. The Company plans to continue drilling
Caney wells for the rest of the year. By year end, we are projecting
to have finished drilling 6 wells in 2014 and have 4 of them on
production. Our year-end production exit rate is projected to be
between 2,300 to 2,600 BOEPD.

"The credit facility, which was completed at the end of July, has an
initial commitment amount of $15.9 million and additional commitment
amounts will become available subject to new higher reserve evaluations
as we bring the new wells on production.

"Due to our successful 2013 drilling program in the Caney formation, the
Company was able to generate positive net income for the first two
quarters of 2014. Our netbacks for the first six months increased by
more than 200% compared to the same period in 2013, which allowed the
Company to generate positive net income with the same level of
production on a BOE basis due to the higher oil content in the Caney
formation. In addition, we generated positive cash flow from
operations of almost $5.3 million and revenue of $14.2 million for the
first six months of the year.

"The flow-back test of the Gapowo B-1 horizontal well in Poland has
concluded and the well is currently shut-in for a 3-4 week pressure
buildup test. Production rates remained in the range of 200,000 to
400,000 cubic feet per day throughout the flowback test. The Company
expects this pressure data to provide the remaining information
required to complete our reservoir model analysis. The Company
anticipates completing the reservoir analysis in October.

"The Company believes that this reservoir analysis will validate the
Company's preliminary analysis, through further design
improvements, that future wells can be effectively stimulated across an
entire lateral and that the production rates achieved at Gapowo can be
proportionally increased to not only account for the entire lateral but
also increase gas rates per stage when placement of designed proppant
concentrations are achieved. The Company expects the resulting
projected production to be at rates that would justify further
development of the reservoir.

"This is similar to the path of exploration to development in many shale
gas projects in the United States where numerous exploratory wells are
necessary to advance shale projects to economic production, including
the Company's own experience in the Caney formation. As previously
announced, given the capital requirements of such exploration
activities and the Company's focus on its Caney growth, the Company
intends to renew its efforts to joint venture with a suitable partner
after completing the reservoir analysis mentioned above.

"In the second quarter of 2014, the Company generated net income of
$199,000 compared to a net loss of $929,000 in the second quarter of
2013. Oil and gas revenue, net of royalties was $6.0 million in the
second quarter of 2014, an increase of $5.2 million, or almost 600%,
compared to the prior year quarter when the Woodford assets were sold
in April 2013.

"Average netbacks for the second quarter 2014 were $58.85, an increase
of 256% compared to the prior year quarter due to the significantly
higher levels of oil in the production mix of the Caney formation. Oil
accounted for 72% of 2014 production in the Caney versus 33% of 2013
production from the Woodford formation which was sold in April 2013.

"Production increased 276% in the second quarter 2014 compared to second
quarter 2013 due to the Caney wells drilled in the second half of 2013
and the Woodford sale in April 2013. Average pricing per barrel
increased 86% primarily due to the higher oil of the Caney formation in
the production mix.

"Capital expenditures increased to $22.7 million in the second quarter
2014 due to the startup of the 2014 drilling program in the US and the
drilling and completion of the Gapowo B-1 well in Poland. Capital
expenditures in the second quarter of 2013 were $7.8 million."

"Through the first half of 2014 the Company generated net income of
$449,000 compared to a loss of $6.2 million in the first half of 2013.
Oil and gas revenues increased by 125% to $11.5 million due to an
increase of 123% in average prices due to the higher oil from the Caney
formation in the production mix. Cash flow generated from operating
activities for the first six months of 2014 was $5.3 million compared
to negative cash flow from operating activities of $8.7 million in the
first six months of 2013."

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS:

Revenue, net of royalties was $6.0 million for second quarter of 2014
and netbacks were $58.85 per BOE, an increase of 256% compared to the
second quarter of 2013 due to more oil in the production mix and higher
prices

Production was 999 BOEPD for the second quarter, an increase of 276% due
to the Caney production in the second half of 2013 and the Woodford
sale in April 2013

Net income was $199,000 for the second quarter of 2014 compared to a
loss of $929,000 in second quarter of 2013

In July, the Company closed a $100 million credit facility with Morgan
Stanley with an initial commitment amount of $15.9 million

Cash flow from operating activities was $2.3 million for the second
quarter of 2014 compared to negative cash flow from operating
activities of $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2013

Cash and working capital totaled $32.3 million and $18.7 million
respectively at June 30, 2014 not including the subsequently closed
credit facility.

Capital expenditures increased 189% to $22.7 million primarily due to
the startup of the 2014 US drilling program and the drilling and
fracture stimulation of the Gapowo B-1 well in Poland

In June 2014, the Company entered into financial derivative transactions
with Morgan Stanley as part of the hedging requirements of the credit
facility that was completed in July 2014. These transactions also meet
the Company's risk management strategy to manage commodity price
fluctuations and stabilize cash flows for future exploration and
development programs.

Second Quarter 2014 versus Second Quarter 2013

Gross oil and gas revenues totaled $7,432,000 in the second quarter 2014
versus $1,063,000 in the second quarter of 2013. Oil revenues were
$6,697,000 in the quarter versus $717,000 in the second quarter of
2013, an increase of 834% as production increased 720% due to the
higher oil content from the Caney wells. Average oil prices increased
14% or $12.78 a barrel for the quarter. Natural gas revenues increased
$135,000 or 68%, as natural gas production increased 51% due to the
Woodford asset sale in April 2013 and average natural gas prices per
mcf increased 11% compared to the second quarter of 2013. Natural Gas
Liquid (NGL) revenue increased $255,000 or 177% to $399,000 as average
production increased 61% to 140 boepd due to the Woodford sale in 2013
and average NGL prices increased 72% to $31.28 a barrel.

Production and operating expenses increased $224,000 between quarters
due to the Woodford asset sale in April 2013.

Depletion and depreciation expense increased $1,403,000 between quarters
due to increased production and a higher depletion base due to the
Caney wells.

General and administrative expenses decreased $239,000 between quarters
primarily due to lower professional fees relating to legal, accounting,
and management fees partially offset by an increase in director fees.

Finance income decreased $2,242,000 due to higher unrealized gains on
financial commodity contracts in 2013. Finance expense decreased
$9,087,000 primarily due to 2013 interest expense of $6,534,000 which
included $3.5 million for the amortization of deferred financings costs
and $2.5 million of pre-payment penalties and a realized loss on
financial commodity contracts of $2.7 million as these contracts were
all settled in April 2013.

Capital expenditures of $22,710,000 were incurred in the second quarter
of 2014 primarily related to the startup of the 2014 drilling program
in the US and the Gapowo B-1 well in Poland.

FIRST SIX MONTHS 2014 HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue, net of royalties was $11.5 million for first six months of 2014
and netbacks were $58.16 per BOE, an increase of 213% compared to the
first six months of 2013 due to more oil in the production mix and
higher prices

Average production was 980 BOEPD for the first six months, an increase
of 1% as increased production from the Caney wells drilled in the
second half of 2013 was offset by the loss of production from the
Woodford sale in April 2013

Net income was $449,000 for the first six months of 2014 compared to a
loss of $6,249,000 in first six months of 2013

In July, the Company closed a $100 million credit facility with Morgan
Stanley with an initial commitment amount of $15.9 million

Completed an equity financing for total net proceeds of approximately
$30.8 million

Cash flow from operating activities was $5.3 million for the first six
months of 2014 compared to negative cash flow from operating activities
of $8.7 million in the first six months of 2013

Capital expenditures increased 244% to $35.7 million primarily due to
the completion of the 2013 U.S. drilling program, the startup of the
2014 U.S. drilling program and the Gapowo B-1 well in Poland

In June 2014, the Company entered into financial derivative transactions
with Morgan Stanley as part of the hedging requirements of the credit
facility that was completed in July 2014. These transactions also meet
the Company's risk management strategy to manage commodity price
fluctuations and stabilize cash flows for future exploration and
development programs

First Six Months of 2014 versus First Six Months of 2013

Gross oil and gas revenues totaled $14,202,000 in the first six months
of 2014 versus $6,291,000 in the first six months of 2013. Oil
revenues were $12,385,000 in the first six months versus $2,728,000 in
the same period of 2013, an increase of 354% as production increased
313% due to the higher oil content from the Caney wells and average oil
prices increased 10% or $8.98 a barrel. Natural gas revenues decreased
$665,000 or 47%, due to a decrease in natural gas production of 65% due
to the Woodford asset sale in April 2013 which was partially offset by
an average natural gas price increase of 51% in the first six months of
2014. NGL revenue decreased $1,080,000, or 50%, due to a decrease in
NGL production of 61% due to the Woodford sale in April 2013 which was
partially offset by an average NGL price increase of 29% in the first
six months of 2014.

Management fees and other income decreased due to lower management fees
compared to the prior year.

Production and operating expenses decreased 34% for the first six months
of 2014 due to a reduced well count due to the Woodford sale in 2013
and reduced gathering costs.

Depletion and depreciation expense increased $1,357,000 due to the
Woodford sale in April 2013 and a higher depletion base due to the
Caney wells.

General and administrative expenses decreased $775,000 primarily due to
lower professional fees relating to legal and accounting expenses and
lower payroll and related costs, partially offset by an increase in
director fees.

Finance expense decreased $9,823,000 primarily due to 2013 interest
expense of $7,528,000 which included $3.5 million for the amortization
of deferred financings costs and $2.5 million of pre-payment penalties
and a realized loss on financial commodity contracts of $2.5 million as
these contracts were all settled in April 2013.

The information outlined above is extracted from and should be read in
conjunction with the Company's unaudited financial statements for the
three months ended June 30, 2014 and the related management's
discussion and analysis thereof, copies of which are available under
the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Netback per barrel, net operating income and funds from operations
(collectively, the "Company's Non-GAAP Measures") are not measures
recognized under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") and do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP.
Management of the Company believes that such measures are relevant for
evaluating returns on each of the Company's projects as well as the
performance of the enterprise as a whole. The Company's Non-GAAP
Measures may differ from similar computations as reported by other
similar organizations and, accordingly, may not be comparable to
similar non-GAAP measures as reported by such organizations. The
Company's Non-GAAP Measures should not be construed as alternatives to
net income, cash flows related to operating activities, or other
financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator
of the Company's performance.

Netback per barrel and its components are calculated by dividing revenue
less royalties and operating expenses by the Company's sales volume
during the period. Netback per barrel is a non-IFRS measure but it is
commonly used by oil and gas companies to illustrate the unit
contribution of each barrel produced. This is a useful measure for
investors to compare the performance of one entity with another.
However, non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning
prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar
measures used by other companies.

Net operating income is similarly a non-GAAP measure that represents
revenue net of royalties and operating expenses. The Company believes
that net operating income is a useful supplemental measure to analyze
operating performance and provides an indication of the results
generated by the Company's principal business activities prior to the
consideration of other income and expenses.

Funds from operations is a non-GAAP measure that represents cash
provided by (used in) operating activities, as per the consolidated
statements of cash flows, before changes in non-cash working capital.
The Company considers this a key measure as it demonstrates its ability
to generate the funds necessary for future growth after taking into
account the short-term fluctuations in the collection of accounts
receivable and the payment for accounts payable.

Cautionary Statements

In this news release and the Company's other public disclosure:

(a)

The Company's natural gas production is reported in thousands of cubic
feet ("Mcfs"). The Company also uses references to barrels ("Bbls") and barrels of oil equivalent ("Boes") to reflect natural gas liquids and oil production and sales. Boes may
be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion
ratio of 6 Mcf:1 Boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion
method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a
value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on
the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is
significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a
conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to
be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that
the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of
proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

(d)

This news release contains short-term production rates. Readers are
cautioned that such production rates are preliminary in nature and are
not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate
recovery.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This release contains forward-looking information including information
regarding the proposed timing and expected results of exploratory and
development work including production from the Lower Caney and upper
Sycamore formations on the Company's Oklahoma acreage, the effect of
design and performance improvements on future productivity, the

You know you need the cloud, but you’re hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You’re looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you’re concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

I recently had the opportunity to give a 10-minute keynote at DataWorks Summit 2017. I know what most of you are thinking: Schmarzo can barely introduce himself in 10 minutes! What sort of keynote could he give in just 10 minutes? And to be honest, I too struggled with what to say.
But after some brainstorming with my marketing experts (Jeff Abbott, Erin Banks, and Chris Hill), we came up with ...

We all probably remember the movie (“Jurassic Park”), even if we don’t remember this exact scene: Dr. Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum is explaining Chaos Theory to Dr. Ellie Sattler, played by Laura Dern.
Dr. Malcolm is explaining how random, seemingly negligible events can disrupt even the most carefully laid out plans.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: [after the T-Rex failed to appear for the tour group]. “Y...

Docker is sweeping across startups and enterprises alike, changing the way we build and ship applications. It's the most prominent and widely known software container platform, and it's particularly useful for eliminating common challenges when collaborating on code (like the "it works on my machine" phenomenon that most devs know all too well). With Docker, you can run and manage apps side-by-sid...

When you focus on a journey from up-close, you look at your own technical and cultural history and how you changed it for the benefit of the customer. This was our starting point: too many integration issues, 13 SWP days and very long cycles. It was evident that in this fast-paced industry we could no longer afford this reality. We needed something that would take us beyond reducing the developmen...

Increasingly, in a world of compressed times and distances, humans will be the inventors, designers and managers of digital systems and processes, rather than the operators. Operations will be measured in milliseconds, an inhumane speed where only the machines can deliver.
Professor Paul Virilio, a philosopher of speed, urbanist and cultural theorist, wrote at length about the impact of speed on...

In our first installment of this blog series, we went over the different types of applications migrated to the cloud and the benefits IT organizations hope to achieve by moving applications to the cloud.
Unfortunately, IT can’t just press a button or even whip up a few lines of code to move applications to the cloud. Like any strategic move by IT, a cloud migration requires advanced planning.

The renowned military strategist John Boyd taught that people and institutions collect favorite philosophies, strategies, theories and ideologies over a period of time, and then try to align the future to fit them. The problem with this is the future is rarely like the past, and trying to fit new data into old paradigms often forces us to perform irrational mental gymnastics, which leaves us fart...
